Also, if any of the current Devspeak humor comes across in the game, it will be glorious. Those videos are great.
Wildstar is ex-blizzard, right? Seems like all the guys who leave to make their own game end up creating some real mediocre stuff at best.

Torchlight was Ex-Blizzard, and both games there were well received.
Utnayan is usually talking about lead designers being the relics shitting everything up. The actual individual developers themselves are rarely the problem.

I totally had that McMMO feel when in SWTOR we discovered Ilum (the max level PvP zone), it was such a gigantic clusterfuck of shitty amateur game design decisions it was like they'd take all the things everyone hate and put them together. I remember Ohlen (SWTOR Game Director) during game hype saying "One of the problems of other MMOs combat is that you often have scenarios where you have multiple heroes beating on a single enemy. That just isn't very Heroic". Then SWTOR PvE is about groups / raids of Jedi / iconic SW heroes hitting a single enemy.
What I see in Wildstar is going on in with friends doing stuff we did in WoW : level together and gank / kill some fellas, then hit max level and try raiding / run BGs & arenas and farm stuff. They're not reinventing the wheel, they're just trying to make a new one. I just hope they'll propose actul endgame available at launch, unlike every MMO since 2007.

It's a nit-pick, I know, but I wish dual wielding classes weren't holding the same item in each hand - SS and Stalker, for instance. Does it mean there is only 1 item slot for your hands and it just shows up in both? Or, does it mean there are 2 item slots for 2 weapons and they will always look the same? Thus far, it's looked like the inventory is rather small. "Boo hoo I miss EQ days where there were 30 slots" or "Hey, that's progressive and tons of items are less important". Not sure yet.

From the AMA on reddit:
(Back to Spellslinger related business!) - You have always see the Spellslinger with two handguns of the same kind, but can you have 2 different handguns at the same time?...
4. Not possible currently, never say never though! ;D

The Law of Utnayan states whatever happens Wildstar's entire staff will be re-hired in a second.
Yeah. I'm actually most interested in Medic and Engineer at this point. If they don't look OMG awesome, Stalker Tank yes please.
